I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

I'm the same as you @Aph413 - AF due the 4th may.

According to my Flo app I'm 5 days post ovulation (not doing opks this month as on the control arm of the clearblue trial). I hate the 2ww lol and desperately trying not to symptom spot, but been having these weird little twinges / mild cramps on and off all day, which is totally not normal mid cycle for me? So currently having to battle with myself that these are/aren't implantation pains! 😂

Bought some tests but DETERMINED not to test before AF is due/late.

MrsM2017 · 25/04/2018 15:17

Sorry @Aph413! meant to tag @Countrygirl94 in my post Flowers

Hi Ladies💕

Age: 24
TTC: #1
Cycle: 6
CD1

AF (obvs) got me today after a weirdly long cycle and late OV last cycle. (PCOS suffererer)!

@SunshineAndRainbows6 It's nice to see someone the same age 😊💜 lots of baby dust honey!

starsandstuff · 25/04/2018 16:07

I'm (im)patiently waiting for AF so that I can officially be Cycle 1, CD 1, and usually I'm like clockwork but oh no, this month she decides to be an arse.

Geegeegirl · 25/04/2018 16:11

Hi everyone,

Please can I join?

Age 28
TTC #2
Cycle 9/10 I think
Cycle day 29

I'm due on tomorrow and I can feel AF on her way already. Took a test yesterday morning and BFN. So disappointing to see the blank white test month after month.

I want to try recording BBT this month mainly just to prove to myself that I am ovulating.

Finding it so hard at the moment and having these supporting threads is so helpful. Wishing baby dust to everyone!

Countrygirl94 · 25/04/2018 16:12

@Aph413 I would have done the same! haha.
I live in a small town and know the girl that works in boots so that stops me buying them in my town as no one knows we are ttc.

@MrsM2017 I hate it too. Best to try ignore them though fingers crossed. The last two months I was entering every twinge, symptom that wasn't even a symptom into my app, drove me crazy! So this month I've only entered opks and when we dtd.

@xLauraa I'm also the same age as you.

xLauraa · 25/04/2018 16:24

@Countrygirl94 😁💕 where are you at with your TTC journey ? Sorry I haven't read right through my phones too slow and I get impatient 😂

Countrygirl94 · 25/04/2018 16:32

@xLauraa pretty much same as you actually. TTC #1 and cycle 6 though nearing the end of it. 💕
I turned 24 last month and had stupidly though when we started I would be pregnant by my birthday.

xLauraa · 25/04/2018 16:35

@Countrygirl94 aw that's not a stupid thought! Well you're not out this cycle yet 🤞🏼🙏🏼
I thought I'd have been pregnant 5 cycles ago 😂😂😂

SP84 · 25/04/2018 17:37

@countrygirl94 we'll be testing around the same time then! Are you waiting until AF due or testing before that?

Now feeling ancient over here at nearly 34...! Hmm

winterwarmers · 25/04/2018 18:11

i really need to read regularly cd5 today and started taking vit b6 this morning hoping it will make my lp a bit longer as currently 10-11 days

Countrygirl94 · 25/04/2018 18:24

@xLauraa think cause we are always taught it's like have sex and you will get pregnant. No one actually tells you it's not that easy.

@SP84 I'm gonna try hold off till AF. If we are all around same time I might be able to hold off knowing we'll all be testing around the same time. Haha 34 isn't old!

puzzlepiece · 25/04/2018 18:28

Going insane over here. Am on dpo9 and my boobs are killing. But I keep thinking "is this a sign". I'm wondering how much of it is in my head. I ordered some more frers on amazon so I can't test until they arrive. Kind of hoping they won't be there when I get home because it's going to be hard to resist testing tomorrow if they are. Is dpo10 a reasonable day to test?

silverpenguin · 25/04/2018 19:11

@puzzlepiece I'm a bad influence...I would totally be testing today if I were you. But if you're strong enough to hold out then I'd say 10dpo is perfectly reasonable!

MK86 · 25/04/2018 19:36

Hi ladies
Im on the first month ttc child number 2, I am noting down everything at the mo (even though its far too early for anything yet). When I was ttc my daughter I wrote down everything I was feeling so that I could compare cycles. The one difference I had the month I conceived my daughter was a big blue vein up my side and a really noticeable vein on my boob (the same side).
Noting it all down did help me to realise what was different and what was normal for me (but had probably never paid any attention to before ttc).

puzzlepiece · 25/04/2018 19:39

@silverpenguin I just got home and the tests arrived 🙈 noo! I was going to wait until the weekend but...
I am sure af will be arriving and I'll be staying on the May bus but I am tempted to see!

silverpenguin · 25/04/2018 20:38

@puzzlepiece uh oh...that is serious temptation. Maybe compromise with yourself, wait until morning and test then?? Then you can use FMU too.

puzzlepiece · 25/04/2018 20:48

@silverpenguin yes I am waiting until the morning. DH says we need a credit card for the amount I'm spending on tests Hmm (total exaggeration!).

bubblybrit · 25/04/2018 21:56

@SP34. I am the same age as you and feeling exactly the same as ttc#1!!

bubblybrit · 25/04/2018 21:57

Sorry....meant @SP84. Doh!!

SunshineAndRainbows6 · 25/04/2018 23:50

Just catching up on the posts ladies!

👋🏻 to you too @xlauraa and all the best to you and everyone! 🌈🤞🏻😘

Currently 7DPO and my fingers are getting twitchy to start grabbing the tests 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ HELP ME STAY SANE!!!

But the issue I have is that I also have another two apps which tell me I ovulated at completely different times so I'm unsure which one to go by!? 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

Been feeling bloody awful these last couple of days though... not due AF for another week but had such bad cramps yesterday to the point where I thought she might have turned up early! Felt dizzy, had a headache and bad backache... but that could be down to moving house over the weekend... so who knows ayyyeee! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

clairehr · 26/04/2018 06:45

How many of you lovelies have used/are using pre-seed? Wondering whether to grab some this cycle, FW has already started (rabbits have nothing on us right now 😂) so could pick some up today if it seems worth it.

Spottyyellowdress · 26/04/2018 07:25

@clarehr we’ve been using it for the last few months but not made a difference yet! Always worth a shot though.

silverpenguin · 26/04/2018 08:09

@clairehr we use it and we used it last time round to conceive DD. I got it from Amazon I think. Definitely worth a try IMO.
